"Let the little children come to me . . ."- Matthew 19:14

St. Thomas Episcopal Church Welcomes Families!
We at St. Thomas believe that young people play a crucial role in the larger family that is the body of Christ. We offer a variety of ministries to our younger congregants that aim to reach a range of developmental needs.

Book Cart
The St. Thomas Library has graciously provided a book cart for children who would rather stay in church with their parents during the service. The book cart is regularly stocked with books, stuffed animals and activity bags for the use of children in the worship services.

Nursery Care and Sunday School
We also offer a number of age-appropriate Sunday school and nursery care programs for people from very small to almost-grown up! Please see our Sunday School and Nursery page for more information

Youth
Youth Paragraph should read as follows: Our youth Group “Generation Best” meets monthly in the Youth Room to plan upcoming activities. Recent activities have included a car wash to raise funds for a family game night and Youth Lock In and serving Shrove Sunday Pancake Breakfast to the congregation.

Acolyte Guild
If you are interested in serving as an Acolyte during the Services please contact the Family Ministry Director by calling the Church offices.

Please contact Sue Beckham, Family Ministry Director with any questions by email at family_ministry@stthomas-svale.org or by phone at (408)736-4155.
